This is just a quick heads up since it actually concerns me as well (being a Rogers customer)... Websense has published an alert on a new phishing attempt targeting Rogers customers..

The text of the email is:

Rogers is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Until we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

Why is my account access suspended?

Your account access has been suspended for the following reason(s):
March 12, 2007: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive Rogers account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection.

(Your case ID for this reason is RR-257-057-154.)

At this point, I can't say how wide spread this is. I've checked 3 Rogers Accounts that we have as well as a couple of "spam" accounts I maintain and I haven't seen anything yet... However it is a concern. Currently, Rogers highlights email specifically from Rogers Internet in blue if you used the web-based Yahoo! solution. It would be nice if Rogers (and other ISPs offering web-based mail) were to provide that same service... If you've sent the email, highlight it so users know it's legit, that little bit of extra warning.

So All you Rogers customers... take care when clicking email... If you are concerned about the validity of an email... contact Rogers @ 1-888-ROGERS-1
